Pete's Firearms: Savage Arms 10ML-II Muzzleloader

NOTICE: We are sad to report that Savage Arms has dropped production of their 10ML muzzleloaders. They will no longer be available. We think this was a bad decision as it was the BEST production muzzleloader available. Due to an overwhelming volume of email requests and phone calls that we could not possibly address individually, we posted all we know here. Thank you.

Smokeless Powder – you choose the propellant! The 10MLII is the only muzzleloader to give you that choice.This rifle will shoot with the best of them using Black Powder or Pyrodex, but why limit yourself to primitive propellants, when you can take advantage of the superiority of Savage Arms 10ML using modern smokeless powder.
Shipped directly to customer - Muzzleloaders do not have to ship through a transfer dealer as with other firearms - No transfer fee!!!

I killed this large adult female (click here or photo to see larger) on opening day Black Bear 2003, with my Savage 10ML-II muzzleloader loaded with a Hornady 250 gr. SST/ML bullet and 48 grains of IMR 4227 smokeless powder in the Adirondack mountains, NY. As with a buck and a bear I killed the previous year using the Hornady 250 gr. HP/XTP’s, with the same 48 grain IMR 4227 charges, there was no tracking - instant death! This full grown large animal was lifted clean off the ground on impact, lungs shattered in pieces. This is the most humane quick kill muzzleloader.

My bear was featured in the in-line muzzleloading authority Toby Bridges' High Performance Muzzleloading 2003 Trophy Gallery.
It was Toby that introduced me to the Hornady SST/ML bullet. He gave me a box to try in my 10ML and I fell in love with the accuracy.
